About me

I am an unrepentant escapist—one of those nerdy 27 year olds who still curls up with Frodo and Gandalf at midnight. This blog is a celebration of all SFF, but is especially targeted at people like me, who are up and coming speculative fiction writers.

Quotation

“For he is an unrepetant escapist. His plays spin fancies in a clear air. He just doesn’t like his fellow-men, and cares less for their continuously clumsy though well-meaning attempts to straighten things out.”
